Berket and the StarsWilliam Carlos Williams
From “Broken Windows”
A
Student poverty! One best day out of ten good ones.
Berket in high spirits—“Ha, oranges! Let’s have one!”
And he made to snatch an orange from the vender’s cart.
To the full sweep of certain wave summits,
That the rumor of the thing has come down through
Three generations—which is relatively forever!
